In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery in a magical forest where she manages a cozy tea shop. This serene setting attracts a diverse clientele, including some who crave coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.

During the fourth cycle in *Wanderstop*, a graceful, humanoid bird visits the shop, requesting a refined cup of tea. After Alta fulfills this request, a trio of businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—arrive, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, en route to a boardroom presentation. Despite Alta's warning that they've strayed off course, they decline her offer of tea, insisting on coffee. Surprisingly, they choose to linger until coffee is available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially stumped. The situation shifts when an interdimensional character named Zenith appears, intrigued by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith is open to trying tea, marking a new experience since their only reference for hot beverages is coffee.

To unlock coffee beans, prepare a special cup of tea for Zenith using a valuable item. This could be anything from a book or trinket to a small plant or photograph. Upon tasting the unique tea, Zenith becomes curious about the distinction between coffee and tea and what's needed to brew the former. When Alta mentions "coffee beans," Zenith uses their connection to the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest, where they begin to grow in the clearing. Instructions for harvesting and brewing are added to Alta's Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

After Zenith's intervention, coffee beans start growing wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry them by hand. You can also place them on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.

Before brewing, clean the beans using the dishwasher, and await their return via the dish trains in the tea room. To brew, pour water into the tea maker, heat it as required, and use the gear to pour it into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, use the gear again to pour the coffee into the kettle below, and then decant it into mugs for serving.

Offering coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also pleases Zenith and provides another beverage option for other customers. Even Boro is willing to give it a try, though he admits it's not to his taste.

That's the full guide on how to unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
